Chapter 405: Knowledge is Wealth

The effect of the Happiness Spell didn't fade until lunch, and the smile on Albert's face retracted. As he ate, he listened intently as Fred and George discussed the possibility of making laughing toffees, and both tried to use the Happiness Spell on each other's pumpkin pies, but to no avail.

"Looks like your laughing toffee is going to blow. Lee Jordan poked the enchanted pumpkin pie with his fork and turned his head to ask Albert, "Can this thing still be eaten?"

"Probably not. ”

"What?" Lee Jordan was a little confused.

"I remember a magical animal and a plant that could achieve similar results. Albert tapped his forehead with his hand and began to read through the knowledge of potions and magical beasts in his head, "Oh, by the way, it's Fluffy, that thing can be equipped with a laughing potion, I think you should be able to use the laughing potion to make your laughing toffee." ”

"Laughing potion?" Fred and George could see the joy and excitement on each other's faces, and they didn't expect to be able to make a laughing toffee.

"There really will be such a thing. Although Lee Jordan was not suspicious of Albert's words, he couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, the famous Potions Master Zygmunt Bucky has a reference to the Laughing Potion in his Book of Potions. However, the book is in the forbidden section. Albert vaguely reminded, "Be careful when you go to borrow books, don't get caught by Filch." ”

"It's not the first time we've gone and we know what to do. Fred and George looked at Albert with a reassuring look.

"Well, that's right. Albert added, "You can also use the leaves of Ariot, which is one of the ingredients for the laughing potion, and if you want to think about it...... Well, I remember it was supposed to be the heartworm that produced a kind of syrup. ”

"You can also try the two ingredients upside down, and you should be able to make a sentimental candy, but as for how to mix the proportions, you need to try it yourself. Albert casually gave the two of them some advice.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

"It's Albert!"

At this moment, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all opened their mouths and stared in surprise, they didn't expect to be able to do this, and even the time to find the antidote was saved, and Albert gave them clear hints.

The next moment, Fred and George made a gesture of reaching out for something. One of them pulled out a quill pen, and the other pulled out a notebook and jotted down a series of key words, such as Fluff, Laughing Potion, Zygmunt Budge, the Book of Potions, Ariot's leaves, and Heartworm Syrup.

When they were free, they were going to the library to look up relevant materials, and the twins also knew that Albert did not have time and would not help them study these things, so they could only rely on their own time and energy to try. However, now that key technical support is in place, all that remains is to prepare the ratio of the agent and manufacture the corresponding antidote.

"Laughing toffee is good, but it doesn't sell for much. As soon as Lee Jordan finished speaking, he was glared at by Fred and George.

"That's right. Albert nodded, "It's impossible to make a lot of money from laughing toffees." ”

"Can you please shut up. Fred and George said in unison.

"Actually, you can do this research and make food that makes people feel happy, and that's what really makes money. ”

"Eat food that makes you feel good?" Fred asked with a frown, "is that the one you said earlier?"

"I don't know, it's mainly about the proportions. Albert didn't know, he just gave the Weasley twins some ideas and asked them to try, if they succeeded, it would mean a huge profit, and if they failed, they would lose some raw material costs and time.

"Do you mean magic food?" asked George, thinking that since Albert had brought it up, it should be very profitable, otherwise how could he have paid attention?

"Duke Honey's Zizi Bee Candy is the sweet that rises a few inches from the ground with your feet when you suck. Albert casually gave the trio an example, "I dare say there's some dry Billy Wigg stinger in the candy." ”

Zizi Bee Candy is indeed one of the most popular products of the Duke of Honey, and students who go to Hogsmeade will try Zizi Bee Candy and enjoy the wonderful feeling of having their feet off the ground.

The twins quickly took notes again, still muttering something to themselves: "That's a good idea, you can ...... it"

"Knowledge is humanity's greatest treasure. Lee Jordan couldn't help but sigh, and he also realized that Albert could make Fred and George's store have several more products in the future with just a few suggestions, and it was just a casual talk he made.

"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest treasure of mankind. Albert corrected earnestly, "That's a Ravenclaw maxim." ”

Lee Jordan was a little stunned, but heard Albert say again: "However, I agree with what you just said: knowledge is the greatest wealth of mankind." ”

"If you don't have a job in the future, you can develop magic food, which should be a good seller. Albert pulled out his notes and jotted them down.

Well, it's another way to make money.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who were sitting next to them eating, were a little dumbfounded as they listened to the brief conversation between Albert and the four.

Ron was even more surprised and speechless, he didn't think that Albert actually opened his mouth to make money, and seeing Fred and George's quick note-taking, he couldn't help but wonder if he should also take out his notes and record what he just said.

Ron also knew that Harry had pressed the money on the Slytherin side, but he hadn't been able to get the money back from the Slytherin side yet.

Fred and George must have won their bets, and to his mixed feelings, they still believed they could get their money back, even though they hadn't gotten their winnings back.

"Albert, do you know who Nicol Lemay is?" asked Hermione expectantly.

"Well, what are you asking this for?" Albert said with an eyebrow raised as he looked at the three of them with anticipatory looks on their faces.

"We've looked through a lot of books, but we haven't even found a shadow of him. Harry hurriedly said, "You must know, right?"

If you can get the answer from Albert, you can save a lot of trouble.

"Well, I know. Albert nodded his head to indicate that he did know.

"Who is he?" said the three of them in unison.

"Nicol Lemay, he's ......" Albert's words suddenly paused, and he looked at the three of them again, narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that you guys are very interested in what the big dog guards?"

"You know what's in there?" Hermione was surprised, she didn't understand how Albert knew about it.

Could it be Hagrid?

"It has nothing to do with you. Albert said seriously: "Of course, it has nothing to do with me,"

"We just want to know who Nicol Lemay is, nothing else. Hermione tried to argue, but she hadn't given up on getting an answer from Albert.

"Don't get involved, it's a big pit with a bunch of trouble in it. Albert kindly reminded, "Of course, if you want to know, go to the library and look for it yourself, or ask Hagrid, he must know something." ”

Hagrid refused. ”

"But, how do you know?" asked Harry, curious, "I mean, you seem to know a lot of things. ”

"I won't tell you. Albert shrugged, "You wouldn't have guessed anyway. ”

"I hate his bad taste. Ron muttered quietly, he must have done it on purpose, or he didn't know it at all.

Of course, this is also angry talk.

As the trio got together and whispered, Flint of Slytherin came out of the toilet in a fit of rage, apparently ready to settle accounts with the man who had attacked him.

After all, anyone who has been rounded up like this several times will be angry.

"Cover me. ”

Fred stealthily pulled out his wand, gave George and Lee Jordan a look, and used their cover to cast a happy spell on Flint.

The next moment, the anger on Flint's face immediately vanished, replaced by a stupid-looking smile, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

This sudden laughter made everyone feel a little inexplicable.

In order to prevent the Slytherin from stirring up trouble, Truman also surrounded him with a debt collection team.

"What are you guys doing?" Professor McGonagall, who had sniffed that something was wrong, walked over and frowned as she looked at Flint, who was laughing.

He seemed to have some kind of illness, and suddenly he burst out laughing. Truman raised his hand to hide his face, and he looked like you were sick.

"Perhaps, we should send someone to Madam Pomfrey, who obviously needs some treatment. ”

"It's ...... Happy spells?" Professor McGonagall could see Flint's situation at a glance, "which of you cast a spell on him." ”

"Spells? I thought Flint was sick and would die if he didn't laugh. Lee Jordan almost had the shock written on his face.

The members of the debt collection team who gathered around couldn't help but laugh, as if they were infected by Flint, and looked very stupid.
